Content Assistant

The Content Assistant provides a suite of tools to improve existing content directly within your WordPress admin area. You can bulk-enhance posts, generate new titles and excerpts from the posts list, and process text directly within the post editor.

Activation

The Content Assistant is a free add-on that must be activated first.

  1. Navigate to AIP > Add-ons.
  2. Find the Content Assistant addon and click Activate.

Once activated, three new features become available across your Posts, Pages, and Products list screens and editors.

Content Assistant

This feature allows you to update multiple posts at once using a configuration tool.

  1. Go to your Posts, Pages, or Products list.
  2. Select the checkboxes next to the items you want to enhance.
  1. Click the Content Assistant button that appears at the top of the list.

This will open the Content Assistant modal, where you can configure the AI enhancements.

  • Templates: Save and load your entire enhancement configuration as a template for quick reuse.
  • AI: Choose the AI Provider and Model for the enhancement tasks. You can also adjust the Temperature and Max Tokens for the generation.
  • Context: Enable a Vector Store to provide your knowledge base as context to the AI, ensuring enhancements are aligned with your custom data.
  • Prompts: Check the box for each field you want the AI to update (Title, Excerpt, Content, Tags, Meta Description, Focus Keyword). For each selected field, a tab will appear where you can write a custom prompt. Use placeholders like {original_title}, {original_content}, and {original_focus_keyword} to provide the AI with the post's existing data.
  • Click Start to begin the process. The modal will display a log of the progress for each post.
WooCommerce Placeholders

When enhancing Products, you can use additional placeholders like {price}, {sku}, and {attributes}. See the WooCommerce Product Writer documentation for a full list.

Quick Enhancements

For single-post improvements, you can use the "Enhance" link directly from the post list.

  1. Go to your Posts, Pages, or Products list.
  2. Hover over a post to reveal the action links.
  3. Click on ✍️ Enhance. A dropdown menu will appear.
  1. Select an action, such as Generate Title, Generate Excerpt, Generate Tags or Generate Meta Desc.

A modal will appear with several AI-generated suggestions. Click any suggestion to apply it to the post instantly.

Editor Integration

The Content Assistant can also be used directly inside the WordPress Block and Classic editors. This allows you to select any piece of text and process it with an AI prompt.

Enabling the Editor Buttons

First, you must enable the feature in the main settings.

  1. Navigate to AIP > Dashboard and click the Integrations tab.
  2. Open the Content Assistant accordion.
  1. Check the box to Enable Content Assistant in Post Editors.

Using the Assistant

Once enabled, a new "Content Assistant" button will appear in the editor's toolbar.

  1. In the post editor, select the text you want to modify.
  2. Click the Content Assistant dropdown in the toolbar in Classic Editor.
  1. Click the gear icon in the toolbar in Block Editor.
  1. Choose an action (e.g., Rewrite, Expand, Fix Grammar). The AI will process the selected text and replace it with the result.

Managing Custom Actions

You can create your own custom actions for the editor dropdown menu.

  1. Go to the Content Assistant settings accordion mentioned above.
  2. Use the table to Add New, Edit, or Delete custom actions.
  1. In your prompt, use %s as a placeholder for the text a user will select in the editor.
